they're trying to get other points across to show you you would never eat 64 table spoons of sugar sitting at a table. >> how is this different than the meth commercials where you see the people with the horrible teeth and skin. you see the darkened lungs with the smoking. those seem pretty effective to me. >> the difference is you're talking about 11-year-old kids who have to bear that stigma tomorrow morning when they go to school. i'm worried about the kids who aren't in the ads but are also overweight. when they go in tomorrow through no fault of their own, are the bullies in school going to be saying, why were not you in that ad? a very dangerous slope. when you're dealing with kids from an advertising perspective, you always have to wear, no pun intended, kid gloves. i think there is a better way to do it that is just as effective and just as shocking but may not cause such problems with those children. my biggest fear is that some child who isn't in those ads gets teased mercilessly and god forbid, tries to attempt suicide or something like that based on that and it is tracked back to that. >> god forbid. these kids knew what they were

getting when they signed up for the ad. so part of the program, they are losing weight. we're not finished. i have to go. thank you so much. live out of new york. now hour two. here we go. top of the hour. i'm brooke baldwin. rick santorum is expected to speak live this hour. we'll take part of that for you. also a big surprise concerning jobs in america today. and prosecutors want death by for a famous expresident. time to play reporter roulette. jim acosta, let's begin with you in new hampshire. you're standing by at the santorum event. what is the buzz like surrounding mitt romney's latest challenger? >> reporter: rick santorum's rise after iowa has changed this campaign, brooke. you can just tell by seeing this crowd that he had earlier today, over in new hampshire, it was just filled with folks wanting

to hear what rick santorum has to say about all sorts of issues. and you're also seeing it in terms of what his other rivals are saying in this campaign. newt gingrich was giving an event, holding an event earlier today where he basically went after rick santorum and diminished his role in the congress when gingrich was bringing about the contract with america. gingrich said that santorum was really a junior partner in that republican revolution. and i had a chance to ask rick santorum about that. and senator, the form he senator from pennsylvania said, hey, wait a minute. he was involved in other anti-corruption efforts in congress before newt gingrich was even the speaker. a bit of a back and forth going on between these two rivals. and there is a good reason why. mitt romney is expected to win this state. the polls all show that. the fight for number two is an important one. if santorum trul can somehow pull off a second place finish in new hampshire, that will continue that momentum that he's

had coming. so it has changed this race in new hampshire. >> speaking of south carolina, and santorum, i was talking to our reporters who covered santorum the whole triyears. and he said they have an organization on the ground in south carolina. do you know when santorum will get there in. >> reporter: i don't believe it will be before there is a debate saturday night. i don't think it will be before that debate. if you look at santorum's schedule, it is very much like the schedule he had in iowa. he has roughly two dozen events and radio interviews between now and saturday. almost all of them, i believe, are here in new hampshire. i think there is a chance that he may be doing some south carolina, maybe a pit stop where he'll leave new hampshire and briefly go to south carolina and come back. but it is sort of counter intuitive. the conventional wisdom with a lot of folks is that rick santorum has a much better chance with south carolina. santorum said he is fighting for every vote up here. he feel his blue collar lunch

bucket republican message, rerk he talks a lot about rebuilding the manufacturing industry. he likes that message and the way it plays up here in new hampshire as well. the fact that he raised $1 million in the last 24 hours is helping too. >> we'll be taking him live, rick santorum live at that event. jim acosta, my thanks to you. next, a big surprise for unemployment in america today. and people may have had their social security numbers breached. let's begin with this new report showing december was a big month for hiring. hallelujah! >> reporter: hallelujah! it was a big month for hiring in the private sector. adp said 325,000 jobs were added in december. that's the most hiring in a year. and you know what? if you look at the five-year plan here, what it has looked like over the past five years, we've seen this kind of improvement.

sure, obviously things really dipped pretty darn low during the recession but things have been gradually improving lately. the economists say it is nice to see this improvement. in the numbers today, stocks right now are flat. traders really aren't putting a lot of weight on the numbers. they consider this more of just an appetizer before tomorrow's main course. the government jobs report. that of course measures both private and sector jobs as well as opportunity employment rate. >> we'll be talking about that tomorrow. meantime, i'm sure people's ears perked when we mentioned a possible social security breach. what do you know? >> reporter: yes, follow me on this. the whole thing started with an investigation by officials in connecticut. the state subpoenaed wells fargo seeking financial records as part of a fraud investigation. now, as wells fargo was preparing the documents, the bank decided to notify customers that their information was part of the investigation. the problem is that the company may have actually revealed hundreds of customer names and social security numbers to other customers. so that's how that information

may have been leaked. wells fargo though, not commenting. not confirming or denying this security breach. but the bank is giving customers the option of signing up for free i.d. theft protection. >> we are 55 minutes away from the closing bell. look, i know there are always sort of fascinating people who come and ring that bell to signal the end of the day. >> reporter: right. >> today, a little unique. do tell. >> reporter: we've got some studs here. we've got studs. that means my producer is not the only stud here at the new york stock exchange. i'm talking about real live bulls. look at the pictures he snapped. these are real live bulls. >> are those ropes? >> reporter: you walk out there and you can smell the bulls. why are they there? the professional bull riders, they're ringing the opening bell today. they're off the 2012 season at madison square garden. so what the heck? bring the old bulls right down

to wall street. >> mmm, i'm sure it smells great out there. smell the bull on wall street. thanks for having a little fun with us today. appreciate it. and to you and your producer. next, death by hanging. this is what prosecutors are now asking for in the trial of former egyptian president hosni mubarak. ian lee is in cairo. >> reporter: today is a day that many egyptians have been waiting for. it is the day the prosecution has for the death penalty for former president hosni mubarak, the former interior minister and four of the six defendants. they're being rnlgd cha with the deaths of protesters in last year's revolution. they also have corruption charges thrown in. all these allegations the defendants deny. what we're seeing here is we're seeing the case being moved forward and analysts say this is because the government wants to show results before the anniversary of the revolution on january 25th.

protesters and activists have been calling for a massive demonstration on that day to say that the government hasn't been doing much, but in return, they say the government is saying that we've had elections. we've had this trial. they hope their verdict will come in before the 25th. and so they can show these things as a result of what they've produced since the revolution. well, that will all be determined as that day approaches. but mubarak will be back in trial on monday where human rights lawyers will present their case. >> ian, thank you very much. a major announcement involving our security both here and abroad. the military is shrinking. no longer will the u.s. be able to fight two ground wars at the same time. huge changes are coming. we're live at the pentagon for what this means for us. also, a gang of white racists. brutally kill a teenager on the street. now as they learn their fate, a key fact is sparking outrage. also this -- >> if there is any man out there

that has had a vision for this country, it is definitely him. >> a soldier stumping for congressman ron paul. he could be in big, big trouble for breaking army rules. police are warning this is a serious and dangerous -- there is also a serious and dangerous serial killer on the loose. another story we're following for you today. they're telling a certain group of people, watch your backs. live in los angeles. coming up. great guest experience. that makes my day. and during the four course feast, there's so much to choose from.

a serial killer is preying on homeless men in anaheim,

california. the first murder happened on december 20th. the others within ten days after that. all three victims stabbed to death and left to die on the streets. the mother of this most recent victim said she saw him last two weeks ago at a family reunion. >> i enjoyed my time with him. that was the last time i saw him. then he met just on the phone. he wished me a merry christmas. that was the last time that i spoke to him. he is really for me, my son, and i love my kids all the same. >> let's go straight to police headquarters there in anaheim, california. and casey, what leads if anything do police there have? >> reporter: believe it or not, they actually have surveillance video of the first murder, december 20th, actually taking place. now they have released still

photographs from that surveillance video. they're not going to release the entire video. but it shows the victim, a man named james mcgillvery standing up outside of a strip mall where he apparently normally schlep. then it shows the image of apparently a large man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, walking away. so the police have released those images to the public, hoping that perhaps someone can identify who this person is that is doing this killing. they're also looking for a white toyota corolla. they've released pictures of that that was parked near the murder scene. they say it is a 2000 to 2003 model year white toyota corolla. they're looking for anyone who may recognize this person or this vehicle to contact police here in orange county. that's all the leads that they will admit to having at this point, brooke. >> what about future potential targets? are we talking about homeless men in orange county. how at all can they protect

themselves? >> reporter: well, it's interesting. the homeless community here is obviously very, very concerned. you might wonder how they might know about this. police and community organizations have been reaching out to them, passing out fliers warning them to seek shelter at night and not sleep outside at night. and because of that, the shelters are trying to bring in extra beds to accommodate this rush of people they are expecting. also this afternoon, the orange county rescue mission is going to be passing out flashlights and whistles for those homeless people who do choose to remain outside, hoping they can at least alert someone or perhaps scare a potential attacker off. >> flashlights and whistles. i hope that is enough. thank you so much. live in anaheim. a question for you. did the white house break the rules and reveal secrets about the killing of osama bin laden? the defense department today announcing it will investigate whether hollywood got classified information about that particular raid. we'll tell you what may have been revealed.

plus, rick santorum expected to speak live during this hour as he plays catch-up in new hampshire. remember that primary, coming up tuesday. is he wasting his time? should he be focusing on what could really be the big prize for him? joe is standing by live after this quick break.

if it's interesting and happening right now, you're about to see it. dpipg with renewed violence in iraq, all in the wake of the u.s. troop withdrawal. a series of bombings in baghdad left dozens of people injured. car bombs explode in the two busy squares in a shiite neighborhood and three bombs were detonated near a outer loop of day laborers in another shiite neighborhood.

but the day's deadliest attack happened to the south in nasiriyah. at least 36 people were killed there. inmates armed with makeshift weapons riot in this prison. this is northern mexico. 31 prisoners in all were killed in this vicious fight broke you'd after one group of inmates broke a ban on entering another area of the prison. more than a dozen other prisoners were injured in the brawl. prison is in alta mira about 300 miles south of texas. and police shot and killed an eighth grader after allegedly waved this weapon in brownsville, texas, in his middle school. but it turns out, he was waving a pellet gun. police say it looked so real, they believed 15-year-old jaime gonzalez was a clear threat. so they shot him. then rushed him to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. a soldier who spoke up during republican presidential candidate ron paul's campaign rallies in iowa might be in a bit of trouble now. >> if there is anyone out there

that has had a vision for the country it is definitely him. >> we have now learned that army corporal jesse thorson actually, members of the military are per mid to attend political rallies but they may not make political speeches and must not be wearing their uniform. no word on any punishment for this particular soldier. a denver woman is in jail charged with damaging a $40 million painting at a city museum. here's what she did. stay with me. police say 36-year-old carmen tisch was apparently drunk when she approached this abstract painting, scratched it up, urinated on the floor beside it. not all she did, by the way. tisch was charged with felony criminal mischief. the repairs are expected to cost about $10,000. and -- how did this happen? how did this happen. look at this video. a car winds up on the roof of a house. this is fresno, california, right around 1:30 in the

morning. the driver was speeding in foggy conditions, missed the turn, hit some large rocks. obviously went airborne. the driver was wearing, here's the best part. boxer shorts. he faces several charges. the people in the house got quite the rude awakening but thank goodness no one was hurt. a whopping big price for tuna in japan. this 600 pound bluefin was sold at auction today for a record $736,000. that is better than $1,200 a pound. the successful bidder was a tokyo based sushi restaurant chain operator. he said he wanted to help liven up the country's stagnant economy. now we have mitt romney now arriving in south carolina. let me just remind you quickly, we have the iowa caucuses here in the cnn election center this past tuesday, i'm sure you stayed up late, late, late that night with us. we have the new hampshire primary coming up this tuesday.

then january 21st, we have south carolina, very, very important. let's go to joe john standing by for us in the beautiful city of charleston. here is mitt romney's welcome from the chair woman of a local tea party chapter. pardon the facetiousness here,er quote, i do not personally know anyone who does not despise mitt romney. does not despise mitt romney. wow! ouch! >> reporter: yeah. those are tough words. and very interesting. i talked to her. that's karen martin. she is the organize he of the spartanburg tea party. and she is pretty much adamant about it. her justification is, south carolina did not like mitt romney very much in 2008. now it's 2012 and she said the only thing that has changed is that south carolina has basically gotten more conservative. more concerned about fiscal responsibility, about reducing taxes, more concerned about protecting the constitution. so many of the things the tea parties, the tea party members

are really concerned about. we're talking about 57% of this state identifies itself as either a member of the movement or sort of a sympathizer, if you will. these are real problems. that that, nicky healy, the governor of the state, endorsed mitt romney and it was a big splashy event. so he's trying to make end roads. he's reached out to tea partiers. he has said he believes once tea partiers hear his message, they'll be more inclined to come on board. the question, is whether he will be able to sell himself to this constituency in this state that really believes in a smaller government and less taxes. >> you mentioned you spoke to that organizer of the tea party organizer out of spartanburg. let's hear a piece of that interview. >> we don't really think too much of mitt romney here in south carolina as a presidential candidate. i don't know any tea party people in the state, save one i talked to this morning, who is

supporting him in his presidential bid. >> why? >> well, it's easy to point to romney care as the issue why the tea party doesn't like mitt romney. it goes much deeper than that. the republican party didn't like him in 2008. not much has changed about him between then and 2012 but the electorate has changed a lot. we're more conservative. >> so joe, if not romney, who does the group support? santorum? >> reporter: well, there are some people who support santorum. there is support in this state for newt gingrich among others. i have to tell you. i talked to another congressman, jason from utah. this is really, you could call him a tea party darling out of utah. he's a republican. and he is very much in support of mitt romney. he is traveling around the country with him. he has brought dozens of other members in to endorse mitt

romney for president. just because you hear this one voice as people will tell you over and over again with the tea party, they can be all over the place on everything except lower taxes and smaller government which is something they very much believe in. the thing that unites them. >> a good point to underscore. just one voice. thank you. a quick reminder as joe is there in south carolina. that is a huge primary. the primary coming up in five days in new hampshire. we are waiting for an event in which rick santorum will be speaking. we'll take that live as soon as we see him begin to speak. now this. i don't understand how this could happen. someone made a goof. >> a teenage girl runs away. she is then deported from the united states. there is now a new twist. as she is sitting in colombia, she may be pregnant now. that's ahead. plus, ever since a jury found her not guilty of killing her daughter, casey anthony has been in hiding until now. video surfaces of her, blond

[ male announcer ] 80 delicious calories. fiber one.

we talked so much about this trial. a connecticut man who lost his wife and daughter in that brutal home invasion is now engaged. a family friend tells cnn, dr. pettitte will marry a photographer who worked on the story. a family member said she has seen a huge change in pettitte. he has a reason to that happy again. who could forget the story. in 2007, two men broke into his

home, held his family hostage, kill his wife and two young daughters before burning the house down. both men have been sentenced to die. and now to this one. how in the world does an american teenage here doesn't speak a lick of spanish end up being deported to colombia? that is one of the questions this family has about this 15-year-old runaway named jack dr jakadrien turner. she ran away more than a year ago. she winds up in houston. gets arrested for shoplifting. immigration officials say she gave this fake name. claimed she was a 21-year-old woman who is from colombia. an immigration judge kick her out of the country because she maintains that false name through the whole process. so a lot of questions. first one is, how? how does this girl go through this entire deportation process? including showing up in court, lying all the way. using this fake name.

no one figures it out. >> isn't it remarkable? i called some of my immigration lawyer friends today to try to figure out how this happened. everyone was stumped. every one was floored. this just doesn't happen, brooke. apparently her fingerprints were taken but they were not matched to the person that she claimed to be. so most of my folks are saying that that is where the ball was dropped. that you have to confirm someone's identity, especially if you're going to deport them out of the country. and so really, this is an anomaly. this is something that just doesn't happen. at least that's what my immigration lawyer friends are telling me. >> so what do those immigration lawyer friends tell but the deportation process? does a judge issue an order? do you just get plane tickets and you wind up in colombia? >> it's a multistep process, i've learned. certainly she had to have appeared in front of an

immigration judge. and that immigration judge makes the final determination after hearing evidence, by the way, as to whether or not she should have been removed from the country. and then, i.c.e., the immigration unit, does charter its own jets and deports people. so she is not given a plane ticket. she is taken to the country that she hales from, allegedly. so it really is a multistep process. and it is interesting in this case that it wasn't figured out step by step by step. because she was deported and then given a colombian passport once she arrived in colombia. i think that's another fascinating piece of this. now she is sort of recognized as a colombian citizen. this 15-year-old runaway. she ran away from her home, ends up in houston, gets arrested and ends up in colombia. really just a fascinating case. >> apparently she is in custody down there. they're not letting her go

either. it begs the question how often does this happen and we're not talking about it. my other question, how can this be prevented without infringing over one's rights. we'll have to go through some massive finger prinling system or i.d. checks every time we try to leave the country. >> that was a question i had for the immigration lawyers i spoke to. they said this is something that they don't believe is happening. that it is a multistep process with a lot of checks and balances. and typically, identities are verified. because it is a legal process, because people are in court, your average american citizen is not necessarily subjected to this but mistakes do happen. there are flaws in the system. apparently the system is constantly being reviewed and i.i i.c.e. is saying they will review this and make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. >> let's get straight to the next story. casey anthony. video diary made public.

take a look. >> october 13th which is a thursday. 2011. and i'm just starting to figure out my new computer. and i don't know. i guess i'm liking it so far. it's obviously -- >> from the pieces i've seen, she talks about her computer, talks about her dog, no mention of caylee. what do you think of this? >> yeah, you know, as you know, brooke, i followed this case from the very beginning. and i wasn't expecting her to talk about her daughter. i was surprised to hear this. we've received comment from her attorney, cheney mason who said this was part of her therapy. that certainly this wasn't intentionally released. that this was illegally obtained, we're showing they are notes and memoirs from her personal counseling. i thinkle people are having trouble believing that. many people are thinking she's testing the waters to see if there is interest. will this turn into some sort of pay-per-view. into sort of an ongoing video

blog. she does indicate, right, that this was the first of many installments. she talks about the fact that she said some tape-recordings as well. a lot of questions out there as to the motive here. is she looking for that payday or really just trying to get better? >> sunny hostin, we'll see if there are more to come. thank y thank you very much. meantime we indicated that rick santorum would be speaking in new hampshire. >> what i find in new hampshire, those of you who may not be from new hampshire, just here going to college, is that new hampshire is a full contact citizenry. i when it comes to politics. i would say just about everybody here in new hampshire has been elected to some office or not in the state. you have big legislature, you have all sorts of town councils and local elected officials and boards. and it is really full contact.

and it is wonderful that you have either elected officials or former elected officials who understand that at a participating level, the importance of citizenship and importance of governance. and you have a lot more insights than a lot of other states in the country. that's why i've been a very strong supporter of both iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina. in that order, iowa is a caucus. you folks here as the first primary, to really vet the candidates. i've never had a problem as i've traveled around the state of new hampshire and actually finding, doing town hall meetings and finding people who are big to show up and ask tough questions and spend a lot of time. i've just done a tim of town hall meetings cynic i flew in from iowa yesterday. the crowds were great. the questions, we went on two hours last night over in brentwood. i was in north field earlier

today. the crowd would have gone on for a lot longer, too, we had a lot more questions. i'm going to open up for questions and we can do that. there never seems to be an end when i do town hall meetings in new hampshire. the people are willing to stay for long periods of time. that is a real testament to the voters here. you understand this is an important election. when you fight to be first, you have an obligation to do it right. so i would challenge you in that regard to do it right. which is to look at the candidates and examine them carefully. look at their records across the board. look at not just what their policies are, but why they hold those beliefs. why they have those public policy positions. what is it that underlies it? because you're going to have a president who is going to have to make a lot of decisions, both from the standpoint of national security, as well as on economic and moral and cultural problems

that we're dealing with. we may not be aware of now. that may not even be on the table. i'll give you an example. the presidential debates the last time around for republicans, do you know how many questions there were on health care in all the debates leadinging to the general election, there was one question on health care. so most people had no idea what the policy positions were with respect to presidential candidates on the issue of health care. yet it became a huge issue and it is going to be a huge issue. i say that because there will probably be issues that may be important, that a president will have to work on in this next four years that, you may not even, no one has ever asked. it is important to understand, how do they view the role of the presidency? what do they see as the mission,

or the vision of the, of their presidency? and so let me just share that with you. because i think it answers another question that i get a lot which is, how are you going to work together? you have very strong positions. i would argue strong principled positions. and you're going to have folks who won't agree with you. how are you going to find that common ground? people are sick and tire of the acrimony in washington. they're sick and tired of the divisiveness that we see taking place. and the dysfunctional nature of thank whatever is going on in washington. and it seem to increasingly be getting worse and worse. how are you going to fix in. and still have principles that you can stand by. aren't you going to have to compromise to get those things done? i would make the argument, i don't think you have to. i think you can do things that actually bring people together

and lead in a way that brings the american public with you to influence the more acrimonious nature of members of congress toward the other party. and let me share with you a contrast. i would make the argument that president obama's vision is one that is rooted in, as far as his vision for, as president, is rooted in the beliefs that government can in fact and should in fact do, be the allocator, the arbiter of what is going and fair. that government needs a very proactive role, because the basic structure of american and free markets and free economies, and the inequality the president talks about, has created a situation where government needs to go in and sort of level things out.

the president of the united states said a few years ago, he was a law professor and he argued that one error in the constitution was that there was no provision that allowed for redistribution of wealth. that's the president's view. a very heavy oriented government position. that government needs to be more involved. and he has played that out. he put forth the health care policies, very top down. he wanted something even more, he couldn't get it so he compromised for something that is pretty much 90% of the way there. he did not compromise much. he didn't try to get republican votes at all. he didn't need them so he didn't try. he just did what he thought he could do consistent with his values. that government could be controlling these thing. they should allocate resources. people shouldn't make profits in health care. government should allocate it. government is more efficient. government is fair. >> we have been eves dropping on rick santorum. we hadn't been talking about him, didn't create much of a blip on the political polling

radar until this past week in iowa. the former two-term senator out of western roots, western pennsylvania. and now he is speaking in new hampshire. his eye is clearly on capitalizing on that momentum as he lost romney romney. an eight-vote loss in iowa here as we are five days away from that new hampshire primary. we'll see how he does. you look at polling. the latest polls we've seen. suffolk university poll. he is number 3. that is a distant third. we'll see how he fares tuesday night going into the next south carolina. still ahead, is america about to be less secure? that is what some republicans are suggesting as president obama announces big, big changes that affect the future of warfare. plus, a gang of white racists brutally murder a teenager and the killers, just learning their punishments now. verdicts that are sparking all kinds of outrage. tim is here to break it down. it has changed the issue of race in one place.

this murder happened nearly 20 years ago. the outrage in the u.k. is as raw as ever before. this goes back to 1993. this band of racists stabbed a 19-year-old black man by the name of steven lawrence setting off more than a decade of controversy with claims of institutional racism inside scotland yard. now two of the killers have been

sentenced and richard pallow of itv news has the story. >> reporter: there is nothing about this crime that makes you want to cheer. nothing perhaps except that a dignified family can now start to move on. >> it is the beginning, i think, of starting a new life. because we've been in limbo for so long. so today is where we can look to start moving on and just, i don't know, try to take control of my life once more. >> reporter: the hard truth is that the convicted killers of her son may well serve less than the length of his life. gary dobson will be in jail for a minimum of 15 years, two months. david norris, some 11 months less. both mandatory life terms, both lessened because they were juveniles at the time. >> one of my greatest hopes is that these people have now realized that they've been found out. and it is now going to go and lay down in their bed and think

that they were the ones responsible for the death of my son. and they're going to give up the rest of the people so when i come out here in a year's time, and talk to you people again. >> reporter: in sentencing, mr. justice treacy said a totally innocent 18-year-old youth on the threshold of a life was brutally cut down in the street by a racist, thuggish gang. he went on to say the way the attack took place strongly suggests to me that your group, if not actively out a victim, was prepared if the opportunity arose to attack in the way in which you did. he also remarked, it did not matter if either of them had not held the knife, adding that neither had shown the slightest regret or remorse. from almost day one, these five gang members were the chief suspects. with two now behind bars, what are the chances of further prosecutions? of neal acourt? his brother jamie, and like

knight. and perhaps even others there that evening. despite covert police filming, there remains no hard evidence linking the other three to the murder. >> other people involved in the murder of stephen lawrence should not rest easily in their beds. we are still investigating this case. >> reporter: but who wielded the knife that killed stephen lawrence may never be known unless either of those convicted confess and breaks a silence that still haunts so many. itv news. >> i want to bring in tim lister. you shared with me during the piece that you lived five mile from that scene when it happened in 1993. help us just understand the context and the outrage for so many years. >> i think people were outraged and i think this case was a seed change in britain for a variety of reasons. here was an innocent teenager. this was not a fight or an argument. this was a guy attacked unprovoked. >> wrong place, wrong time.

>> wrong place, wrong time by a gang whose sole intent was to cause harm to people of a different race. they killed him that night. i think the other thing was that his parents were so dignified and so determined in their pursuit of justice in this case. and they kept going even when it looked like there was no possibility they would bring these people to justice. and you've shown in that report a little of the video of how they did behave subsequently. they mocked the inquiry that followed, the inquest. they continually managed to evade any sort of prosecution, even when the lawrence family brought a private prosecution. then there was the aspect of the police bungling, incompetence, complacency, institutionalized race i. the london police was a very different police force than it is now. all those factors make people think, do we want to live in a society like this where this sort of attack can happen? >> how is this police force now? how has this affected they will, improved them?

>> the spotlight was particularly on the london police. and i think it is a very different police force now. for start, there is much more legislation on the books which prosecutes racial offenses. we have seen it in the recent case involving a very well known soccer player in england who now faces a charge. the legislation is there and it has been made by successive government that's the police have to treat racially motivated crime. and for racial abuse, racial attacks, and so forth. there is a different mentality. we're living in a post racial paradise in the united kingdom? absolutely not. but there has been change. >> thank you. we appreciate that. did the white house break the rules and reveal secrets of the killing of osama bin laden? the defense department announcing it would announce whether hollywood got classified information about this raid. this is all over the movie by the woman who directed the hurt locker. also, wolf blitzer with a preview as he mentioned to me

a new investigation into whether or not hollywood film makers got information about the osama bin laden mission. the pentagon wants to know if

there was any impropriety working on this movie, specifically about the operation that led to the death of osama bin laden. the probe comes after questions were raised in august by peter king demanded to know what if in, classified information was leaked. remember this. we talked to congress king about this last year. he said quote, this alleged -- the lies, transparency, cinema -- say it in my ear? view of history. i'm hearing nothing. that tells me you guys don't know either. the director of "the hurt locker" was among those that received the details. wolf blitzer. let's go to you with a big preview of "situation room." you've been tweeting about these guests, including richard cordray, consumer financial protection bureau.

>> if first interview with cordray. yesterday, the president did what's called a recess appointment to get him in the job, although it's continue versal because it's a different kind of recess appointment. we'll talk about that. what he's planning on doing. also, a separate interview with the british defense secretary. he's in d.c. he's meeting with leon panetta at the defense department and we go through the whole world. the british defense secretary has strong views with what's going on in iran, iraq, north korea, syria. we're going to do a little tour of the world right now. he's very, very hard lined when it comes to iran right now. he wants to stop basically iran's oil exports, so we're going to get into that and a lot more. looking forward to new hampshire, south carolina and florida. by the way, have you noticed our new cnn "situation room" graphics? >> pretty fancy. the whole open of the show.

>> watch that. tell me what you think. >> i think it's fantastic. our graphics department is pretty amazinging. whole new look, but you remain the same and we're grateful. the u.s. military, it's shrinking. american will no longer be able to fight two ground wars. president obama announcing big, big changes, but critics say it makes this country less secure. we'll break this down for you, next. and boston cream pie. did you say pie? pie. she said pie. pie.

shrinking the size of the military like i ended the ability to fight two ground wars at once. president obama unveiling this at the pentagon. now, this new strategy would scale back ground forces and shift more resources to both air and sea. it would also result in 47,000 fewer troops in the military within the next five years. let's go straight to the pentagon to chris lawrence. what does this mean? the pentagon is letting go the capability of fighting these two ground wars simultaneously? >> you could argue they never had that capability. the army had to add some 90,000 soldiers just to get through the wars in iraq and afghanistan and those countries weren't fighting with the navy or air force of any means. but what this in policy means is that the united states will focus on being able to fight one sustained ground combat operation while still having enough troops left to what they

call spoil. that's the new buzz word. spoil the intentions of a second adversary. in other words, the u.s. was involved in ground combat in the korean peninsula and iran started acting up, they could deploy enough forces to hold them at bay or hold that off until those ground forces could be redeployed, but overall, what this strategy does, probably pulls some troops out of europe, rebalances and puts a lot more emphasis into asia. >> we will be strengthening our presence in the asian pacific and budget reductions will not come at the expense of that critical region. >> critics say this ignores history, that when you say oh, there won't be the number of ground conflicts, it really ignores how ground conflicts continue to pop up and it also

says critics will say it will make allies wonder about our commitment and em bolden some of the u.s.'s enemy ts. >> where do the marines go? >> yeah, if the pentagon has its way, if some officials get their way, that will be done very carefully. stretched out over time, so that some could leave on their own that were planning to get out of the service any way. retirements could happen. things like that. because what they don't want to do, if it's done too quickly, is you push all these mid kcareer people out into a horrible civilian economy. it has the effect of basically laying off a lot of these soldiers, so they want to stretch this out, but really, the elephant in the room is the rising cost, the personal costs, of paying for troops and their families. the pay, the housing, the the benefits, the retirement. those costs are spirals and
